The owners were so welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast was amazing. Stiles was in a fab spot and I’d definitely return.

Dawn United Kingdom

Fantastic location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely room

Nigel United Kingdom

The room and hosts were absolutely fantastic! The room was super cosy and clean, with great views around Ambleside and the surrounding countryside. The hosts were brilliant even giving me flapjack, porridge, and bananas as I was running a marathon in the morning. I was also able to leave my bag there whilst I did the marathon. In an excellent location right in the centre of Ambleside as well. Will definitely stay here again when I return!

Breakfast amazing. Mattress and pillows heavenly. Right in the centre of town. Great location. Love this place. Like home from home.

Sharon United Kingdom

Great location and friendly hosts. There really was nothing that we didn’t like, the room Shiraz was of a good size, the bathroom was spacious and clean! There was complementary wine and water, plenty of tea/coffee and biscuits. They have a cafe on the ground floor and that’s were you have your breakfast. They also give you a parking permit which can be used in Ambleside and a fair few villages/towns nearby. Great coffee in the cafe is being served. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely consider coming back.

  • do you have parking near by thanks julie

    Hi Julie, we provide a parking permit which can be used in the council car parks in town. They're just round the corner, and a 2 min walk from the café. We recommend the Rydal Road car park at the top of town :)
